Test Driven Core</a></h3>
<p>In helping drive <a

“what is core” dialog</a>, board member <a
href="http://robhirschfeld.com/">Rob Hirschfeld</a> has
reported a lot of viewpoints about <a
href="http://robhirschfeld.com/2013/07/22/making-openstack-meaningful/">what
OpenStack is and what it should be</a>. As a good steward of
this process he has successfully managed to be an <a
href="http://web.missouri.edu/%7Ecampbellr/Leadership/chapter6.htm">objective
listener</a>. In the recent post in the series, he expresses
his point of view. This is one of the most important
conversations for the OpenStack Foundation and it’s happening
now.</p>
<h3><a
href="http://openstack-in-production.blogspot.com/2013/08/flavors-english-perspective.html">Flavors
– An English perspective</a></h3>
<p>OpenStack has the capability to define flavors of virtual
machines, how many cores, swap, disk and memory. As a native UK
English speaker, Tim Bell finds the term <i>flavor</i> to
already be a problem. In his post describing how flavors are
used at CERN he appeals to the OpenStack technical committee to
not accept any term which is not the same in US and UK English
or to allow an alias. His post has lots of other interesting
information, too.</p>

<p>The OpenStack Technical Committee <a

this week</a> to expand the scope of the <a

program, which is currently in incubation, to encompass
non-relational as well as relational databases.</p>
